What can I compare the setting chart to on this spreader?

I also had difficulty with settings. Would be nice if they had a correlation chart to Scott's settings. I used Scotts Weed and Feed at setting of 1 and that was far too big, needed to reduce to setting of one-half or even smaller.

Setting this spreader is pretty much pick a setting, try it , then adjust. I would start small and work your way up. I put Scotts at a setting of 1 to start with. That was way to much. I moved it down to half way between 0 & 1. For grass seed I used a setting of 3. Sorry, but there is no easy way to set this spredder that I know of. I write down my settings, so I only have to do the trial & error one time. Once you get a setting number, it is easy to set it again for the next application. Good luck!

There is not much to compare the setting chart with. I have spread granular lime with a setting of 2 (heavy application) and it worked very well. For smaller seeds keep going up in settings and try various ones. For tiny seeds like grass, I would recommend you start at 10 and see how well it does, then gradually move down, notch by notch until you get your desired coverage. I would not use this to plant any serious crop other than some generic cover crop (oats, vetch, sudan grass, etc., where over and under application are not critical issues). I hope this helps.

I am not sure what you would compare it to, but the settings recommended are very close to what you will need. I had to do very little tweaking except for powdered lime. For that I really needed to open it up.

I'm not sure as I have only used a mid-level setting. I will try it and give you an opinion after.

the whole point of this type of spreader is it covers a wide arc. If you push it slower the arc decreases but a lot more fertilizer is applied to those areas

I just spread both Bermuda seed (very small seed size) and Bahia seed (a little larger), but I was concerned that the Brinly would not do as even a job as my small hand held spreader. The Brinly is perfect for all forms of granular fertilizer, so it might work just as well for small seed. It is a cascading unit, with an approximate 5' total spread width....maybe 6'. I use settings 4 to 5 for fertilizer, so setting it at 1 or 2 should work fine for seed, but I just wanted a little more control on spreading the seed.If I had been planting more than a couple acres of seed, I would have definitely used the Brinly.

There are different timing slots...keep hitting the on button & it moves up the scale to longer on times. You will see a small green light move up the timing scale to different levels.

Apparently, My instructions said to set it on 5. I found this to be to hot. A setting of 3 works much better. It only takes about 10 to 15 seconds on each side. It is a very good machine. Use 1/3 cup of crepe batter. It takes a few times to master the crepe spreader, but you will. I get the crepe recipes of the internet. There are many good ones. Do not stress. You will enjoy.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember which setting I used. Probaly a 4 or 5 on my old broadcast spreader. On another note, this product did work. I don't have any moles where I used it.

each spreader will put out so many pounds of fertilizer per 100o sq ft based on speed and setting (also size of material). The agri fab spreader manual has this information. Find the same info for the spreader that you have and make the adjustments. There is not a conversion chart that I know of.

N200-990 will work Maybe the chart isn't up to date. Message me with any other concerns.

hi, i don't have the manual handy, but as i recall there is a cross reference to the scotts...........this is a very well made sturdy spreader..........it has a huge hopper, so you won't need to fill many times..hope this helps

I am not familiar withy the brand of spreader you mentioned. I use a simple rotary spreader (like you would spread grass seed). Snapshot is like sand granules; it is easy to spread.

No, mine did not. Its pretty self explanatory though. The biggest issue is spreader settings depending on the product being put down. You have to check the manufacturer settings for each product.

If I had a large area to seed I would definitely use this spreader, utilizing one of the smaller setting numbers. You'll need to check the specs on the seed product itself for the recommended settings; if this is not easily obtainable sometimes you can contact the manufacturer (Earthway) for their guidelines. But the range of settings for the Earthway spreader makes it very versatile.

First, you do NOT want to purchase this spreader. Second, if you do purchase, each bag of product will identify a setting for the #sf -- 4.5 for 15k.

The spreader has infinite settings between being fully closed and fully open. You will be able to crack it open just enough to let clover seed slowly flow out.

I originally used a small handheld spreader from Amazon...it is red, but I don't remember the brand but was the best seller. It worked OK. I found it easiest to put on a nitrile glove and spread by hand. Keep in mind this stuff will kill everything and you want to deploy it very tactically.

Only the spreader which I don't really use. You have to buy your own spatula. A spatula is useful.
